The day had a stormy start--not surprising since the forecast for every day this week at some point included the words "possible severe storms, high winds, hail and a tornado." Rain continued to threaten through the morning and early afternoon. Undaunted, we continued with plans for an evening campfire here at the lake but arranged a backup location in case the forecast came true. A few of us met in the morning at the Rustic Brew--a great local coffee shop and brew pub. In the afternoon, I went to the fair long enough to meet several classmates. Many of the locals are tied up this week with work and events at the fair but were able to take a few minutes to gather.
Then about 5:00, the sun broke through. We had obtained permission to use an empty tent site for our fire and gathering since we don't have much space and are pretty much hemmed in by giant fifth wheels. But, I was hesitant to move chairs or anything else over there, sure that we would be trying to rush them under cover when a deluge popped out of nowhere. But our luck held and we snagged a beautiful evening.
One of the advantages of holding a reunion over several days is the opportunity to see more classmates who may have conflicts for the main event. Tonight we have dinner at the Country Club, tomorrow night supper at the Rustic Brew and Sunday morning brunch and there will be people at each who aren't able to get to any other events.
